‘I put myself in an environment where only bad things can happen and they did.’

Kevin Hartis not laughing now. The comedian, 38, has released an emotional video on Instagram, in which he publicly apologizes to his pregnant wife Eniko Parrish and his two children from a previous marriage, Heaven and Hendrix, for putting himself in a situation in which “only bad things happen.” Although the actor was vague regarding exactly what he was apologizing for, Kevin was reportedly under threat of extortion by someone claiming to have a sexually suggestive video of him and another woman. The apology comes at a time when Kevin has been dodging cheating rumors, including from his ex-wife, Torrei Hart, who accused the actor of dating Eniko while they were still married.
